Password on a POP3 account created with a PRF
 
I'm trying to create a POP3 account using a PRF file. Everything works
fine, except that I can't get a password for it. Any idea on how to
make the password work?

Here is a sample from my PRF file:

[Pop3]
OverWriteExistingService = Yes
UniqueService = No
AccountName=Voicemail
POP3Server=10.1.1.12
SMTPServer=exch01.mycompany.com
POP3UserName =vmname
POP3Password =vmpwd

POP3UseSPA = 0
........

[I_Mail]
AccountType = POP3
;--- POP3 Account Settings ---
AccountName=PT_UNICODE,0x0002
DisplayName=PT_UNICODE,0x000B
EmailAddress=PT_UNICODE,0x000C
;--- POP3 Account Settings ---
POP3Server=PT_UNICODE,0x0100
POP3UserName=PT_UNICODE,0x0101
POP3UseSPA=PT_LONG,0x0108
...................

The user will have to input the POP3 password manually. You cannot deploy it with a .prf file.

Is any other means of setting the password? Perhaps a COM interface or
a .NET assembly?

AFAIK, no. You'd have to hack whatever method Outlook uses to store a POP3 password, presumably in the Profiles section of the registry.
